Energy Sufficiency in Unknown Environments via Control Barrier Functions
Hassan Fouad, Vivek Shankar Varadharajan, Giovanni Beltrame
Maintaining energy sufficiency of a battery-powered robot system is a essential for long-term missions. This capability should be flexible enough to deal with different types of en…
A Flexible Exoskeleton for Collision Resilience
Ricardo de Azambuja, Hassan Fouad, Giovanni Beltrame
With inspiration from arthropods' exoskeletons, we designed a simple, easily manufactured, semi-rigid structure with flexible joints that can passively damp impact energy. This exo…
Decentralized Connectivity Maintenance with Time Delays using Control Barrier Functions
Beatrice Capelli, Hassan Fouad, Giovanni Beltrame +1
Connectivity maintenance is crucial for the real world deployment of multi-robot systems, as it ultimately allows the robots to communicate, coordinate and perform tasks in a colla…
When Being Soft Makes You Tough: A Collision-Resilient Quadcopter Inspired by Arthropods' Exoskeletons
Ricardo de Azambuja, Hassan Fouad, Yann Bouteiller +2
Flying robots are usually rather delicate and require protective enclosures when facing the risk of collision, while high complexity and reduced payload are recurrent problems with…
Multi-robot energy autonomy with wind and constrained resources
Hassan Fouad, Giovanni Beltrame
One aspect of the ever-growing need for long term autonomy of multi-robot systems, is ensuring energy sufficiency. In particular, in scenarios where charging facilities are limited…
